Hi Incarus, You don't need a loop just a correlated subquery on the update:
UPDATE TB1 SET Ivet=PREG_REPLACE('/TeXT/', '', Ivet); Example: mysql> CREATE TABLE blah(value INTEGER, square INTEGER); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.17 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO blah(value) VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4),(5); Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 5 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> SELECT * FROM blah; +-------+--------+ | value | square | +-------+--------+ | 1 | NULL | | 2 | NULL | | 3 | NULL | | 4 | NULL | | 5 | NULL | +-------+--------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> UPDATE blah SET square=POW(value,2); Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.07 sec) Rows matched: 5 Changed: 5 Warnings: 0 mysql> SELECT * FROM blah; +-------+--------+ | value | square | +-------+--------+ | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 9 | | 4 | 16 | | 5 | 25 | +-------+--------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Incarus Derp <icarusd...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a two line query that is only able to handle 1 row per > execution. Could any of you give me some insight on how I could loop this > per every single row in the table?
